The Angel Knew Papa and the Dog

“This book is a small masterpiece.” —Cynthia Rylant, Newberry Medal Winner

“Douglas Kaine McKelvey has found poetry in this hardscrabble saga... The hint of mysticism only sharpens the real rigors of this story about a father’s love and a child’s belief.” —Richard Peck, Newberry Medal Winner

 “This short, sweet tale of faith reads like a song… McKelvey's words are rich and eloquent; this book would be a great read-aloud after supper while the whole family is gathered together.” —Children's Literature, Donna Freedman
